Vemurafenib and Radiosensitization [PDF]
JAMA Dermatology, 2013 The BRAF inhibitor, vemurafenib, was recently approved for the treatment of patients with BRAFV600 metastatic melanoma. Wider use of this drug and longer follow-up periods of treatment are resulting in the emergence of a growing number of reports detailing new adverse effects.

Radiosensitization and apoptosis [PDF]
Oncogene, 1998 The toxicity of radiation to living tissues was discovered soon after the discovery of radioactivity itself and this toxicity is the basis for cancer therapy with radiation. Although this mode of therapy is often effective, its success is far from assured.

Radiosensitizing Nucleosides [PDF]
JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1996 Chemotherapeutic drugs that perturb nucleotide metabolism have the potential to produce substantial sensitization of tumor cells to radiation treatment. The process is called radiosensitization, and the agents that induce it are called radiosensitizers.

Anti-tubulin drugs conjugated to anti-ErbB antibodies selectively radiosensitize. [PDF]
, 2016 Tumour resistance to radiotherapy remains a barrier to improving cancer patient outcomes. To overcome radioresistance, certain drugs have been found to sensitize cells to ionizing radiation (IR).
